Welcome!
I'd like your opinions on the use of ncurses for displaying data in such display. One of the goals of this project is to use as less energy as possible, and be as efficient as possible. Programing in asm is not an option right now.
I think gnuplot can output to ascii -- should be possible to capture that and insert it into an ncurses window.
Here are a couple of other approaches I've seen around:
https://github.com/asciimoo/drawille -- uses braille character for 'pixel' graphics.
https://github.com/stefanhaustein/TerminalImageViewer -- colour overkill!!
https://github.com/rigel314/ttysys -- usage graphs in terminal
https://github.com/hpjansson/chafa -- funky video/image conversion to terminal -- generate a gif or png and convert, perhaps?
https://github.com/HarryBeadle/ncgraph -- too blocky but colourful
The 'drawille' page has a lot of links to similar projects in various languages. To my mind it looks the most complete of the list above.
Please post more as your project evolves!
Best,
